Pros and Cons

Acer Swift Go 16

Strengths

The Arc GPU provides high-end performance and is a worthy trade-off for the lower resolution monitor.
The aluminum body and deck give it a high-end feel, making it suitable for business users or video editing professionals.
The touchscreen is very responsive, making navigation easy and enjoyable.
The processor hits at home in terms of overall balance between performance and battery life, making it an excellent choice for mid-range users.
The typing experience is great, with good key feel and a decent keyboard layout.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

AORUS 15G

Strengths

The keyboard is definitely the star of the show. If you're someone that does a lot of typing but doesn't need to do it in a quiet area then the mechanical keyboard alone could be worth considering.
Most others that have this are typically bigger machines, though there are others that are decent like the Eluktronics Mech-15 G3, but in my personal opinion the Aorus does feel better. Overall build quality with the all metal design felt nice
There's a good selection of I/O though would have been good to see some more Gen2 USB instead of all Gen1.
The screen had good colour gamut and brightness

Weaknesses

the performance wasn't where I'd like. There are big vents underneath and the fans can get quite loud
It's always going to be a trade off, this way it can't get hot, but it also means when compared to alternatives your performance starts looking lower
The cooling looks good, but the performance wasn’t where I’d like
In Adobe Photoshop the Aorus was lower compared to the others, which makes sense as this is a processor heavier test

Acer Swift Go 16

The Acer Swift Go 16 is a mid-range laptop that packs a punch with its Core i9 Ultra processor and Arc GPU. With its sleek aluminum body and responsive touchscreen, this device is designed for the modern professional on-the-go. But does it deliver in terms of performance, battery life, and overall value? I took this laptop for a spin to find out.

AORUS 15G

The AORUS 15G gaming laptop boasts a mechanical keyboard that shines as its standout feature. Its all-metal design offers premium build quality, while the edgy gamery design may polarize opinions. The laptop's cooling system is substantial, but performance takes a hit when capped at 90 degrees Celsius. Gaming performance is still respectable, but a potential boost from disabling Optimus would be welcome. This review will weigh the pros and cons of this gaming laptop to help you decide if it's worth considering.
